Best Answer

Metal expands as it is heated and contracts as it cools. Keeping the heat input even, completely around the pipe, will help. If possible reheating the weld area after the weld is complete can help to "stress relieve" the joint. Using a weld "fixture" to prevent bending is another possibility.

How do you install flowmasters?

Requires cutting, exhaust pipe bending (if you need to replace any of the pipes), welding, and anchoring. It isn't something most people would be able to read about and do. If you don't already know how, I'd suggest either having a mechanic that already knows how either do it himself, or show you how in person.
